Jake Paul proudly showed off his latest hairstyle, a striking rooster cut, as he prepares for his highly-anticipated match against boxing legend Mike Tyson. Despite having only 11 professional fights under his belt, the 27-year-old has emerged victorious in all but one, and now faces his toughest opponent yet in Iron Mike.
Tyson, who celebrated his 58th birthday in June, hasn't fought professionally since his defeat to Kevin McBride in 2005. However, during an open workout session with his trainer Rafael Cordeiro in Dallas on Tuesday, he displayed impressive speed and skill.
Meanwhile, Paul was also putting in some serious work during his training session, but it was his eye-catching haircut that stole the show. Sporting bright red hair with a rooster perched on top, the Cleveland-born boxer revealed that it was a tribute to his new nickname, "El Gallo," meaning "the rooster" in Spanish.
"I love the island of Puerto Rico, where people have given me this amazing nickname," Paul explained after the workout. "That's why I have rooster hair tonight. The people there are so welcoming and kind. We have a lot in common - off-roading, drinking beer, and kicking butt in the ring. I'm grateful for their support and can't wait to represent them in the ring."
The boxer, who currently resides in Puerto Rico, also expressed his excitement for the upcoming fight, stating that it is the start of an incredible journey for him. "What I've achieved so far doesn't matter. Friday night is the beginning of my career. I was meant for this, and I will prove it by knocking out Mike Tyson. It's written in the history books - Friday, November 15 is my night."
Paul's highly-anticipated match against Tyson will take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Friday, November 15. The event, which is expected to draw a crowd of 80,000, will start at 7pm local time. However, the main event between Tyson and Paul is expected to begin around 10pm.
For those unable to attend the fight in person, it will be streamed live on Netflix for all current subscribers. This highly-anticipated match is not one to be missed, and fans around the world are eagerly anticipating the outcome. Will Jake Paul be able to live up to his bold claims and defeat the legendary Mike Tyson? The answer will be revealed on Friday night.
